Cookies.

My boss sneaked a picture of me shooting my last wedding.
Although I look really lame, I do have a smile on my face.
Someone asked me why I love my job so much.
Imagine capturing the best day of two people's lives
who are so much in love they want to spend eternity together.
Everyone is so happy, and I get to be there first to see it.
I want to thank my boss for capturing my moment
of the happiness I have while working.
I'm not going to lie, I cry at least once
every time I shoot a wedding.

I played tennis today for the last time before I leave
with my mom and my 2 sisters, Whitney and Annelise.
When I am with them, there are at least 3 occasions
in a 4 hour time frame where I laugh so hard I can't breathe.
They are all hilarious, and always have the funniest stories.
Although we all played horrible because we haven't played
since Thanksgiving, we had the best night laughing our heads off.
I am going to miss those moments for the next 18 months,
but those moments are one of the things I am looking
forward to the most when I get back.

I visited my wonderful Aunt Carol today,
and she said the best quote...
"My cookies are good for you!
They are made with LOVE!"
I will never forget that when I decide to eat her
cookies at 8 a.m.
